The disk 13 integ 'elwith the upper oloelr. t

Secures rigidity to the p111 14L by means ot the erosspins 21 is the ball carrier 22 which ball. cote rier 1S provided with oplumiity ot IQCQEWOF- ,23 in which are mounted, the sets of hells :34:

list the halls 2i incl held ll the balls 2% and 25, which balls arecammed to the rear against the resistance of the spring 27 as the shieldassumes a new position. The use of the two sets of balls instead of asingle set permits the use of a longer bearing for the balls in thecarrier 22, and the set 25 serves as an anti-friction support for theset 24,

Having thus described my invention and illustrated its use, what I claimasncw and desire to secure by Letters Patent is the following F 1. Incombination in' a wind shield, a lower frame member, a bearing block ateach side thereof having a recessed face and a glass clip to the rear ofthe recess and projecting above the face of the block, a glass carriedby the clips, an upper frame member, a bearing block at each sidethereof hinged to the opposing bearing block on the lower frame memberand having a recessed face and a glass clip to the frontof the recessand projecting below the face of the block, a. glass carried by theclips, and means for holding the shield in upright position, therelative position of the clips and recesses being such that when theupper frame member is in upright position the clips on the lower framemember engage the recesses upon the bearing blocks of the upper framemember and the clips on the u ppcr frame member engage the recesses uponthe bearing blocks of the lower frame member.

2. In combination in a hinge for wind shields, a hinge member having abearing member provided in its face with a series of ball recesses, asecond hinge member, a ball carrier mounted to turn with such secondhinge member and provided with a series of perforations carrying ballsengaging said recesses, another set of balls also lying in theperforations and engaging the other balls, and spring meansnon-rotatable with respect to the ball carrier for yieldingly pressingthe last mentioned set of balls against the other balls.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence ofthe two subscribed witnesses;
